Summer Fun
Ch.5
"Last Week of Vacation"
At the Chipettes' house Brittany stared at her calendar and sighed looking at the first day of Middle School so close and how much she dreaded it. One good thing came out of it though. Friday night was Steve's end of summer party. This year was truly awarding. Because this year Alvin was her boyfriend and not just her best friend anymore. Then Saturday was the day they all go school shopping for new clothes. New backpacks, and new school supplies. She loved to shop even if it was back to school shopping.
Jeanette seen that her sister was upset and put her hand on her older sister's shoulder.
"Hey Britt at least we all are finally with the boys after so many years of dealing with seeing them in other girls' arms instead of ours."
Her phone rang and she answered.
"Hey Alvin, what time will you three be here to pick us up for the party?"
On the other end Alvin answered.
"Around five-thirty babe. The party starts at six. What are you so worried about, I hear it in your voice while you talk to me."
She sighs as she responds to him.
'Alvin the girls at the party that will flirt with you. You know how jealous I get when other girls look at you. I don't want to get in a fight with one of your fan girls. Do they know that you're taken or not.'
He sighs as he responds.
'Britt of course they know I am taken. Will you please stop worrying, I am begging you. Just have fun at the party with me and don't pay attention to them. Britt please I really do not want to turn this into a fight.'
His voice rose.
'Brittany!, will you please stop! That's it I am hanging up see you tomorrow.'
In the meantime Simon looked up from his book as Alvin hung up his phone and put it in to charge.
"Relationship trust issues already? Wow bro you really have your hands full with Brittany. I hope this relationship lasts? You really have bad luck in relationships."
Alvin glared at his big brained brother.
"Si really, you are not helping me at all. Now I really have a bad headache from Brittany yelling in my ear. I am taking an aspirin and going to bed."
Theodore entered their room and looked at Alvin.
"Alvin what's the matter? I thought you were going to call Brittany?"
Alvin looked at his baby brother.
"I did call her Teddy. All she did was yell in my ear causing me to get a major headache. Why is she questioning my loyalty? We are only together a few months and she is already yelling at me accusing me of not being loyal to her."
Theodore responded to his elder brother.
"She does have a reason to worry Alvin you are a flirt. So you really shouldn't be getting angry at her. She is only acting like a girlfriend. So you had no right to hang up on her."
Alvin glared at him.
"Hey whose side are you on?"
Theodore looked as he pulled his bed down.
"No one's I am just telling you that she has every right to be worried because of your constant flirting with all the pretty girls."
Dave entered the room.
"Bed time boys, it is time you three get used to going to bed on time again. School is on Monday. Also you have six classes not just one teacher anymore Alvin."
Alvin pulled his bed down and crossed his arms.
"I hate school and wish it was never invented. Besides you have been putting us to bed early since last Sunday. It's Friday night Dave can you please let us stay up?"
Alvin saw his two younger brothers asleep and still pleaded with his father. Dave looked and gave in.
"Fine Alvin, but no later than ten thirty I mean it. TV off and lights off at ten thirty not a minute late or you will not go to Steve's party. Do I make myself clear? Alvinnn!"
Alvin looked and responded.
"Yes Dave ten thirty I will go to bed. I am not really tired that's why I asked if I can stay up a little later."
Alvin put on his VCR and watched one of his favorite movies until he drifted off to sleep. Around ten thirty Dave came in to make sure his eldest was asleep and stopped the tape and turned off his TV after he covered all three of his boys and turned off the lights. Then he headed to bed himself and slept soundly.
In the meantime at the Chipettes' house Brittany sat up in her bed and wrote in her diary about the fight she got into with Alvin earlier tonight. Both her younger sisters were asleep and Miss Miller entered their room.
"Brittany dear time for bed, you three have a nail and hair appointment tomorrow at twelve o'clock. Do you have something to wear or would you like me to buy you a new outfit?"
Brittany's frown turned into a smile.
"I just need a new shirt to go with my red and pink outfit. The shirt I had has gotten a little smaller on me, and maybe a new pair of shoes to go with my outfit too."
Miss Miller kissed her eldest and smiled.
"We will look around after your appointment Brittany dear. Goodnight and get some rest."
Brittany smiled and put her diary away and turned off her light. After she was covered Miss Miller kissed all three of her girls and headed to her room and drifted off to sleep.
~Saturday morning at the Chipettes' House~
Eleanor was the first one up when she smelled breakfast and headed downstairs. Then she set the table and went upstairs to their room to wake up her sisters. Jeanette was already in the shower and Brittany was still asleep. She shook her elder sister gently and watched as Brittany stretched. Then she backed away a little scared that she was going to get pounded. But to her amazement Brittany just threw on her robe and brushed her hair out. Then she looked at Eleanor.
"Maybe I shouldn't have yelled at Alvin like I did last night Ellie. He might not talk to me at the party tonight."
Eleanor shrugged.
"He is your boyfriend you should know."
Brittany sighed and entered the bathroom to take her shower and called to Eleanor.
"After my shower I am getting dressed and will be right down."
Back at the Chipmunks' house Alvin woke up early and did his chores while Theodore made breakfast in the kitchen. Theodore looked at Simon who was at the kitchen table writing a list of school supplies and scratched his head.
"Is it me or did our older brother get up early and go do his chores? Usually Dave has to yell at him to do his chores. Could he be sick?"
Simon shrugged and went back to his list. Then Theodore continued to make breakfast. After Alvin finished his chores, he went upstairs to Dave's room. Dave came down and checked to make sure Alvin did his chores right. Then he asked.
"How much are you short for Brittany's gift Alvin?"
Alvin checked his wallet.
"I am about twenty dollars short. We are together almost three months and I want to get her something special."
Dave handed Alvin the twenty and smiled at him.
"That is your allowance for two weeks Alvin. Don't ask me again for an advance."
Alvin nodded and put it in his wallet with the rest of his money. Then he headed upstairs to their room and took a shower. When he got out he brushed his hair and got dressed. Then he headed to the kitchen and ate his breakfast asking his brothers.
"What time are we going to the mall to get the girls their gifts again?"
Simon looked at the receipt.
"We have to pick them up at four thirty at the jeweler. I hope you don't expect me to loan you the twenty you're short Alvin. I already loaned you the down payment."
Alvin looked at him.
"No Simon I have the rest of the money. I did my chores early so I could get it from Dave. I just hope Brittany appreciates it and stops accusing me of being a flirt. Then she told me last night that no one knows that I am taken and I told her that's not true. Then she got me so angry I hung up on her."
Simon sighed.
"Then at the party tonight show her that she is wrong. Then maybe she will understand that she is the only girl for you. That is all I can tell you Alvin, I have no other advice for this matter."
Hours passed and Alvin and his brothers went home to get ready and put each of the girls' gifts in gift bags. Around five o 'clock the boys went by the girls' house and went to pick them up. Miss Miller answered the door.
"Hello boys they will be down shortly. They bumped into some enemies of theirs after their appointment and ended up fighting. We got back late because when they fought their hair and nails got messed up. So they all had to get everything redone."
All three boys shook their heads as they waited. In the girls' room Brittany was having a fit because of what happened at the mall earlier.
"Jean you believe those fan girls going after us because we are with the boys? They have their nerve I swear. Alvin is going to have a fit with me and this black eye because one of them got me off guard. I already accused him of being a flirt and not telling anyone that we are together. I don't want to fight with him at the party tonight. I feel so stupid right now for yelling at him the way I did. "
Jeanette sighed and put the makeup on her eye that had the black eye and smiled.
"He won't notice the shiner Britt. Besides if I am not mistaken Miss Miller has already told the boys. Come on let's go we are already behind schedule."
Brittany put her heels on and descended from the stairs with her sisters and ran to Alvin hugging him.
"Alvin I am so sorry for yelling at you last night. Since I became your girl I haven't seen you flirting with other girls. Can you ever forgive me?"
Alvin smiled and embraced her.
"I can never stay mad at you long babe. Just don't ever accuse me of such a thing again that's all I ask. Hand me your wrist Britt and close your eyes until I say open them."
She closed her eyes and put out her wrist. Then Alvin put the bracelet on her wrist and kissed her on the cheek.
"You can open them now. Now shall we go?"
She smiled and kissed him back.
"Thank you so much Alvin. It's beautiful. I love you."
He smiled as he responded.
"I know you do Britt and I love you to. What is that behind your back?"
She smiled and handed him the gift bag and responded.
"Open it and you'll see you silly chipmunk."
Alvin opened it and smiled as he put his new watch on his wrist.
"Thank you Britt I love it."
Her sisters were also happy about the bracelets his brothers got for them. Then they also gave his brothers their watches.
They arrived at the party and Steve greeted them.
"Hey everyone go on by the refreshment table and get a bite to eat. The music will be on shortly. Hey Britt I want you to meet my girlfriend. She might be a great friend to you. She is a chipmunk and chipette fan. Don't worry she is not one of the obsessed fan girls. She just moved down this summer and will be going to our middle school. She also has two sisters that might get along with your sisters. After what Janet and her sisters did to you three. "
Brittany nodded and sat down next to Alvin as they ate their food. Then Jeanette and Eleanor sat by his brothers and also ate their food. Steve met his girlfriend and her sisters at the front door and introduced them to each other.
Sofia approached her.
"Hey Brittany I am so glad that you and Alvin are together. Steve told me stories about what you all went through with your exes. Can we be friends please? We are also from Australia and about a year apart from each other."
Brittany smiled at her. Then Sofia realized that she never told Brittany her name.
"How silly of me I am Sofia. Nice to meet you Brittany. My two sisters are very shy but very intelligent and were able to skip the fifth grade and will join us in Middle School."
Alicia was already talking to Jeanette about how amazing earth science will be. She was a fan of Simon's and Jeanette's and was glad that she could be friends with them. Finally Monica introduced herself to Eleanor and was talking about how much fun Home Economics would be in Middle School with her and Theodore. She was a Theodore and Eleanor fan also. The night went on and they all had so much fun laughing and talking about how different Middle would be than Elementary. Vanessa interrupted and flicked her hair in Alvin's face causing Brittany to almost lose it and pound her until Alvin and Sofia grabbed her.
Alvin got angry and looked at Brittany.
"Babe don't worry about her after today, she is moving away and won't be bothering us in middle school. Brittany! She is not worth it, will you please calm down. "
Vanessa giggled and approached Alvin touching his cap and lifting it up trying to kiss him. Alvin backed away and grabbed a glass of punch and poured it all over her.
"Go cool off! I have Brittany now and that is exactly how it will stay so leave us alone."
He grabbed Brittany and kissed her right on the lips! Brittany smiled and watched as Sofia and her sisters picked up Vanessa and threw her in the pool saying.
"Oh here let us help you clean up! Goodbye Vanessa!"
Vanessa screamed as she wiped her face off yelling.
"You three will get it come Monday morning! I am not leaving my mom decided not to take the job! You better watch your backs in school Monday you will pay!"
Sofia laughed.
"We'll be ready Vanessa! Mess with Brittany and Alvin again you will get an Australian-Style Beat Down! Goodbye Lass!"
Brittany smiled and high fived Sofia along with her sisters laughing. The party ended around ten o'clock and Dave picked them up.
"Okay girls and boys tomorrow we go school shopping. Ladies be up at ten and we will pick you and Miss Miller up at noon. Goodnight."
Alvin and his brothers walked them to the door and kissed them goodnight.
~Back at Steve's house~
Sofia and her sisters were helping him clean up after the big party.
"We are friends with the Chipmunks and Chipettes ladies we have to make sure we stick with them and not turn our backs on them."
Her sisters all nodded and so did Steve. After they finished cleaning up Steve's father drove them home after he kissed Sofia goodbye.
~So the Summer Break ends with a bang, stay tuned for the next story and back to School~
